Martin D-16E Rosewood

The dreadnought that proves rosewood and electronics don't have to be a compromise

The Martin D-16E Rosewood combines the iconic dreadnought size with a tonewood combination that has set the standard for acoustic guitars for decades. Solid East Indian rosewood for the back and sides, a solid Sitka spruce top, and Fishman MX-T electronics: this is an instrument that proves its worth both on stage and in the studio.

The sound of the D-16E is exactly what you expect from a Martin dreadnought, but with the depth and complexity that only rosewood can deliver. The bass is full and defined, the mids warm and present, and the highs clear without being harsh. Whether you're strumming powerful chords with a pick or playing fingerstyle, the guitar responds with a dynamic range and volume that effortlessly fills a room. The Fishman MX-T pickup provides an honest reproduction of that acoustic sound, without adding any unwanted coloration.

The neck is made of mahogany with a modified low-oval profile and a scaly ebony fretboard, ensuring comfortable playability along the entire neck length. The satin finish keeps the instrument lightweight and allows the wood to resonate freely. Delivered with a softshell case.

For the guitarist who is looking for a reliable, versatile dreadnought with the tonal quality of a premium instrument and the practical benefits of built-in electronics.
